Бактерії стають стійкими до антибіотиків що ускладнює лікування

Bacteria are increasingly developing resistance to our best antibiotics, leaving doctors with fewer and fewer treatment options. In many cases, we’re down to our last-resort drugs, such as those that induce severe side effects within the body.

Drugs given to the whole body can be too much of a shotgun approach, damaging cells that aren’t meant to be targeted. A new study has found that cloaking drugs inside red blood cells could help guide powerful but toxic antibiotics to target bacteria.
